About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

The Whirlpool Gold Electric Range Model #WFE720H0AS can be yours for a lot less than most of the models in our test.

The Whirlpool Gold 6.2 cu. ft. Capacity Electric Range with Rapid Preheat Model #WFE720H0AS can be yours for a lot less than most of the models in our test. However, you wont find that means youll compromise on either stovetop cooking power or oven prowess. Six quarts of water boiled in just 24 minutes, and both yellow layer cakes and chocolate chip cookies baked up beautifully. Plus, this range is feature-rich with a convection mode and both a warming drawer and warming element. Thanks to a large window, you can check on your roast chicken or biscuits without opening the door and letting heat escape. One big gripe is the lack of a self-cleaning cycle. We found the steam-cleaning cycle couldnt handle baked-on cherry pie filling, cheddar cheese, and more. If you opt for this range, wed suggest wiping up spills and splatters right after cooking.
